Feb. 9th, 2026 03:39 pmImage Hosting + FenRecs.com Status
Feb. 9th, 2026 11:39 pmIn the last couple of weeks our image hosting seems to be being taken over by porn hosting and such. Everyone should know that we are here for fandom - whether that is NSFW or not. So yes, we allow nude images and such. But we seem to have been taken over by a few users who only post "porn for porn's sake". What does this mean? They're screenshotting porn movies, etc., to use it for their personal or shared "spank bank." NSFW image hosting is allowed - as long as it's fandom related.
Because we've had so many problems lately, signups for image hosting are currently disabled. If you want an image hosting account, you're going to need to fill out a request. Simply click on the link for support and let us know you want an Image Hosting account. You need to submit the following in order for it to be approved:
Next, FenRecs.com is still down. We believe we have a hosting company, and they answered all our questions. Now it comes down to timing. I hope to have FenRecs.com back up and running by the end of the month.

Birdfeeding
Feb. 9th, 2026 05:35 pmToday is partly cloudy and cold. Patches of snow remain, separated by stretches of bare muddy ground.
I fed the birds. I've seen a large flock of sparrows.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 2/9/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 2/9/26 -- I did more work around the patio.
I am done for the night.
